Jake Tapper, You suck. Trump downplaying the virus was THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

Why would Jake Tapper go psycho over this?



Top White House aide's interview goes haywire over Trump coronavirus remarks


An interview with top White House trade adviser Peter Navarro on Sunday went off the rails after he was pressed about revelations last week that President Donald Trump intentionally downplayed coronavirus in the early months of the pandemic.

Clashing with host Jake Tapper on CNN's "State of the Union," Navarro's interview cut out as the two men began shouting over one another.

Tapper confronted Navarro about Trump's tape-recorded comments in journalist Bob Woodward's new book, "Rage," set to be released this week. In it, Trump told Woodward in a Feb. 7 phone call that coronavirus "is deadly stuff" and worse than the flu. After that conversation, though, Trump publicly downplayed the virus and repeatedly compared it to the flu.
